1. Lose weight by eating less and exercising more. (I go back to Weight Watchers tomorrow.)
2. Work on my memory so I don't lose it completely like my mom has. (Suggestions on how to do this are welcome.)
3. Finance an insurrection in a small country. (My finances are limited so I have to start small.)
4. Try to stop criticizing and talking so badly about people. (My heart isn't totally into this one. That's why I said try.)
5. Continue working to keep government accountable. (I've actually got a pretty good start on this one.) From today's Sun:
Bad lighting makes for scary commute
Originally published January 2, 2007
THE PROBLEM // AlisaBS, a state employee who commutes downtown from Owings Mills, reported that there is inadequate lighting in the courtyard leading to the Charles Center Metro stop, in the block bound by Fayette, Baltimore, Calvert and St. Paul streets.
THE BACKSTORY // AlisaBS wrote that, to enter the subway station from Fayette Street, "commuters must first make their way through a very dark section that is popular among panhandlers."
She said she feels uncomfortable walking alone to the subway when she gets out of work after dark.
On Wednesday night, a reporter found nine lampposts surrounding the station without working lights and, in less than five minutes, was twice approached by panhandlers.
After The Sun called about the situation Thursday, the city Department of Transportation immediately sent an employee to the scene to confirm that the lights were not working.
Spokeswoman Tia Waddy said the department would determine the source of the problem and make the needed repairs.
By late that afternoon, workers had brought out large portable lights to use in the meantime.
WHO CAN FIX THIS // Anthony Wallnofer, chief of the maintenance division at the Baltimore Department of Transportation, 410-396-1686.
6. Raise at least $1000 for the 2007 Owings Mills Relay For Life.
7. Stay cancer free.
8. International Tribunal for the Prosecution of Persons Responsible for Serious Violations of International Humanitarian Law Committed in the Territory of the Former Yugoslavia since 1991. (Oops, that's a U.N. Security Council Resolution, not a New Year's Resolution. And it's from 2006 so it wouldn't count anyway. Sorry. My bad.)
Yeah, I should probably stop now.
Happy New Year to everyone!
